I tried EQAlign only once so maybe I fluked something. I am concerned that EQAlign has stopped development. The website is not very active although it says new version being developed.

My main concern is ASCOM support. It only has support for 4.1. Although it seems to work , one thing I noticed I was unable to slew easily. I overcome this by using EQMOD slewing but I am not sure if it affects it overall operation.
One thing I really like is the Initialisation of the cross-hairs, it really is impressive.

Thunderstorms here for the next couple of days so I will not be able to check it out for a while.
